Overall, most users prefer mIRC over competing IRC clients like ViRC and PIRCH for its inexpensive price tag, ease of use, and overall functionality. Still, as is most always the case, choosing between mIRC and other IRC apps will likely come down to your own individual preferences.
Pros: Quick, easy to use client; finger and timer clients also provided
Cons: Lacks some features relative to ViRC, limited to text-based conversations
